Quick Answer
Kyokushin is a new fighting style in Gakuran introduced in the August 2026 update, based on the real-world full-contact karate discipline. It is built for hard-hitting, stance-driven striking that rewards commitment — the karate-family counterpart to the existing Karate style. You obtain it the same way as every style — reroll Fight Style for 5 Robux or via free codes — but its rarity and exact perks are not yet confirmed. Treat any tier placement as provisional until the official Trello is updated.

Expected Playstyle & Mechanics
Kyokushin is based on full-contact karate — a disciplined, hard-hitting striking art. Until the official Trello perks are confirmed, here is how to approach the style:
Core Kyokushin Approach
- Commit to the Strike: Full-contact karate rewards landing clean, heavy hits rather than poking. Expect a kit that punishes hesitation.
- Stance & Spacing: Like Karate, a measured stance and well-timed M2 likely convert disciplined reads into knockdowns.
- Counter Strategy: Out-space and whiff-punish — keep Kyokushin at range and punish the recovery of its committed strikes.

Official Trello Perks (Pending)
Kyokushin's exact perk names and values are not yet confirmed. The official Gakuran Trello is still being updated for the August 2026 styles. Once perks are published we will add them here and to the full tier list. Verify against the official board before committing rerolls.
How Kyokushin Fits into the Meta (Early Read)
Likely Strengths
- Hard-hitting strikes: full-contact identity suggests strong, commitment-based damage.
- New-meta appeal: as a fresh style it is untested, which can catch opponents off guard.
Likely Weaknesses
- Commitment risk: hard-hitting kits can be punished if reads whiff.
- Unconfirmed stats: until perks are live, its matchups against S-tier styles are speculative.
Best Build for Kyokushin (Provisional)
| Stat | Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Height | TBA | Karate-family styles in Gakuran tend to favor medium builds — wait for confirmed data. |
| Playstyle | Disciplined striker | Land clean, heavy strikes and convert disciplined reads into knockdowns. |
How to Counter Kyokushin
Until exact perks are confirmed, use range and whiff-punishing to beat Kyokushin:
- Keep distance: don't let Kyokushin land its committed strikes — bait and punish the recovery.
- Zone it out: spacing and zoning styles exploit the gaps between its heavy hits.
- Grapple control: tall-build Wrestling with high Resilience should win the close-range clash if Kyokushin over-commits.
